Performances, followed by an interactive workshop, run approximately one hour with no intermission.

A traveling librarian rolls into town with their magical book cart, ready to spark big imaginations everywhere and beyond! With a little wiggle, a little giggle, and a whole lot of wonder, stories leap off the pages through juggling, tumbling, clowning and aerial acrobatics. Every book holds a new adventure—where will we go next? This wonderous outdoor circus spectacle invites little ones (and their grown-ups!) to move, play, and discover the magic of reading.

Book Up! is made specially for children ages 0 – 5 years and their adult friends and family.

All performances are FREE and followed by a hands-on workshop for audiences. Tickets are not required, but we encourage you to register in case weather changes any of our plans.

Book Up! is performed on park lawns; please bring a blanket or chair to use during the show.
